Because there are no donuts. Everyone knows that if you want people to come to your meetings, you need to provide donuts.

Oh, I'm all for that meeting. xxHatMcGinnisxx was one of the most unjustly banned posters ever on these forums.

You know, as hilarious and disturbing as this thread is, I've been meaning to off-topically ask GG what program she uses from those 3D pictures she makes.

Awesome thread! I actually felt moved to creep out of the shadows and comment on how fun this one is!

I vote for cake, pie, AND donuts! I already have a hat.

I am your tax dollars at work.

I think they're cute, and I like how they grow in power through the story lines. I'll always go out of my way to do their acrs. I especially love the mission where they're sending one another tells.

Well, to be fair, given that he was talking about power proliferation he was lucky to have one person in his audience. Goodness knows I was disappointed in the topic of his speech.

*biggest facepalm of all. My gosh, this facepalm is huge. Have you seen the size of this facepalm!?

This facepalm would so deeply blot out the sun that even Leonidas wouldn't want to battle in that shade. It's a Facepalm that, in size and epicness would surely dwarf the opening of Space Odyssey 2001, which hasn't come true yet. I mean, it's 2011, a full decade after that movie and we still haven't acted out the events of that movie. For that matter, has Mega Man happened? It took place in the year 200X, and we're two years after the latest that could possibly be. Unless, of course, the X stood for a literal 10. Then, we'd only be one year past. That is, of course, assuming that we aren't accounting for the year Zero. Some don't, and some do. Maybe, by not accounting for the year Zero, Mega Man could arguably take place in the year 2011. Appropriate, given the role Zero will eventually play in Mega Man's series. The Zero's been there from the beginning.

Where was I?

Oh yeah, the facepalm. This thing is huge, son. It's like the size of Iceland. It would easily be seen as more epic than any attack ManOfManChars did in Ao Royale. Wait, you couldn't probably get that reference, could you? You need to join Unleashed and read up on it. You'd get it that way.

But it's huge. It's a huge facepalm. Like Jabba the Hutt letting himself go after a bad breakup facepalm. It's that huge.*

Has that officially been confirmed? Also, they might be bi.

He wouldn't be so hard to deal with if he wasn't so arrogant about it.

I'll pay 20,000,000 Inf for a banner shipping Statesman and Faultline to use as my sig. Something romantic and sweet like this.
I haven't looked at your example yet, I'm a little afraid it was too hot and steamy for me.



I wish States had hooked up with someone who wears a brighter coustume, but States loves the bad boys with daddy issues.

He's never given any evidence, whatsoever.

Exactly - he's trying to keep it a secret, repressing his feelings of raging man-love for Statesman - but reading between the lines, it's quite clear that there's something going on between them, even if it's Faultline who's making all the moves, as Statesman is still brooding over his former lover Stefan Richter, along with his increasingly passionate feelings towards the Well of the Furies.

My reasoning for this is because Sister Psyche and Statesman have both seen the horrors the human (or sentient) soul is capable of. They've seen the absolute, black underside of the world and ultimately face it differently.
Manticore has managed to see this side of people as well, and his response was "set up Wyvern" and "take the fight to them", whereas Statesman's seems to be "fight it with more idealism!", and thus, Sister Psyche fell in love with the fact that Manticore was realistic about things, and being human, helped keep the night immortal Sister Psyche from losing touch with the world as anything more than a sea of thoughts.
just my Wild mass guess. *Puts on tinfoil hat*

I don't know if any of the characters' sexual orientations have ever been explicitly stated as canon. We know Manticore at least is into women, but we have no idea if he's bi, pansexual, straight or what-not.

Now, therein lay madness to say that Statesline is canon. There's no evidence to suggest there is. There's also no evidence to suggest otherwise, and it is in that dim gray that we do diddle.

Besides, Going Rogue was all about walking the line or crossing it. It would be against the spirit of this great expansion to not imagine Faultline held tenderly in Statesman's arms.

Gin Rummy: I always say the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

Riley: What?

Gin Rummy: Simply because you don’t have evidence that something does exist does not mean you have evidence of something that doesn’t exist.

Riley: What?

Gin Rummy: What country are you from?

Riley: What?

Gin Rummy: ‘What’ ain’t no country I ever heard of! They speak English in ‘What’?

Riley: What?

Gin Rummy: English, ************! Do you speak it?

Riley: Yeah.

Gin Rummy: So you understand the words I’m saying to you!

Riley: Yeah.

Gin Rummy: Well, what I’m saying is that there are known knowns and that there are known unknowns. But there are also unknown unknowns; things we don’t know that we don’t know.

Riley: What?

Gin Rummy: Say what again! Say what again! I dare you! I double dare you, ************! Say what one more time!
